The word "Mounty" is commonly used to refer to a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). However, there are several synonyms that can be used instead of "Mounty." One such synonym is "Mountie," which is simply a different spelling of the same word. Another synonym is "redcoat," which is derived from the distinctive red uniform worn by the RCMP. A third synonym is "NWMP" (North-West Mounted Police), which was the original name of the RCMP. Other less common synonyms include "mountain rider," and "horizon guard." Regardless of the synonym used, all refer to the brave law enforcement officers of Canada's most iconic police force.
